Is there ever an acceptable reason to restrict the use of money? Say for the purchase of drugs, or sex? OK, how about kidneys? It seems we have already accepted the ideal that the power of money should have limits, now the question becomes what should those limits be?

I feel there is widespread belief that money should not be allowed to purchase government, I would like to co-op those feelings and suggest that money should not be allowed to buy healthcare or education for the same reasons we dont allow it to buy kidneys. Because it cheapens the process to allow people to just buy them, it should go who need them, and education to those who have earned it not just by being born into the right family, but by working hard and yes by being lucky enough to be born smart,

I think smart should matter more than rich, but it doesnt in America and thats our problem.

Both capitalism and socialism should be regarded as tools, not God given ideologies. National Parks are pure socialism. Preserving the best and most unique for the enjoyment of all citizens. Companies like MicroSoft are capitalism, creating products that we can afford and enjoy. Trying to foist either off as a solution to every need of society is simply insane.

balance in all things, one of the reasons we are in such a mess one of our two parties has forgotten balance, they have determined any tax cut is a good one, like a doctor with a patient with a 68 deg temp and he still wants to lower it, only those that seek balance can truly lead, sometimes you lower sometimes you raise....

A perfect example of where your well-intended meddling causes far more harm than good. Yes, we restrict the sale of body organs through regulation and as a result, people die. There is NO REASON there should not be a market for body parts as there certainly is a demand...demand that often goes unfilled meaning people die.

Sure, you'll scream the sky is falling and that thieves would be stealing children's kidneys in the middle of the night. That there are already laws against such non-consensual activity matters not to the nanny stater. You know better, you have to step in and oversee the entire market for body parts by removing that evil profit motive. Again, the result is people die. But hey, you know what's best for everyone else, right?
